Hutchison Global Communications (HGC) and CMC Telecommunication Infrastructure Corporation (CMC Telecom) on Wednesday launched ibizCloud service, a one-stop global cloud computing service that includes infrastructure and bandwidth, in Ha Noi.

HGC’s ibizCloud will simplify the management of transmission and storage of huge volumes of data and is aimed at multinationals and local corporations.

HGC, the fixed-line operating division of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited, is responsible for the cloud design and instant and international network connectivity, while CMC Telecom provides local connectivity and branding for ibizCloud in Viet Nam. The service has been customised to suit the Vietnamese market and satisfy the demand for easy data exchange.

Businesses in Viet Nam will benefit from a cloud computing approach to data management and storage without making hefty, upfront investments in infrastructure. Other advantages for customers include lower cost of ownership and shorter time to market.

Andrew Kwok, president of international and carrier business at Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited, said: “The cooperation offers a remarkable opportunity to provide local and international corporate customers with a highly secure global cloud service. Creation of a cloud site in Ha Noi has further strengthened our position in the Greater Mekong sub-region. It is another successful example of HGC’s niche market strategy.” — VNS
